# Sheffield Wednesday: Fans react as club are interested in Dion Sanderson

**Sheffield Wednesday continue to look for more players they can add to their squad before the 2020/21 season and they are now linked with defender Dion Sanderson.**

According to journalist [Dom Howson](https://twitter.com/domhowson/status/1301115266194169856?s=20), the Owls are reportedly keeping close tabs on the Wolves defender, who was [on loan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dion-sanderson/profil/spieler/495993) at Cardiff City last season.

The player was a solid asset for the Welsh side as he managed on average 1.2 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 2.1 clearances per game, via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/384128/Show/Dion-Sanderson), in 10 Championship appearances last season and at only the age of [20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dion-sanderson/profil/spieler/495993), he is showing that he has the potential to grow into a quality centre-back.

He[impressed](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/dion-sanderson-aston-villa-transfer-17961792) during this loan move, and this should please supporters of the Owls, however this would mean the club has [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sheffield-wednesday/startseite/verein/1035) centre-backs if he arrived, and with Jordan Rhodes currently the [only striker](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sheffield-wednesday/startseite/verein/1035) at the club, some of the fan base would prefer if the Owls were looking at attacking options.

Here is what they said following the news:

> This would be a top signing if we can pull it off. Cardiff fans want him back and Wolves fans want him to be given a chance. All though can’t say I’m confident.

> Very good versatile singing fitting to how we like to play with 3 at the back.

> This would be another smart Garry Monk signing. Being at Wolves, he’s used to the 3atb system, playing as a RCB. I can’t see him replacing Iorfa, but if Iorfa moved to the centre, I could see him filing in there. Also opens the door for maybe another CB to leave on loan?
